Simple groups with strong fixed‐point properties

open access: yesBulletin of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract We exhibit finitely generated torsion‐free groups for which any action on any finite‐dimensional CW‐complex with finite Betti numbers has a global fixed point.

Plank theorems and their applications: A survey

open access: yesBulletin of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Plank problems concern the covering of convex bodies by planks in Euclidean space and are related to famous open problems in convex geometry. In this survey, we introduce plank problems and present surprising applications of plank theorems in various areas of mathematics.

Theta divisors and permutohedra

open access: yesJournal of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract We establish an intriguing relation of the smooth theta divisor Θn$\Theta ^n$ with permutohedron Πn$\Pi ^n$ and the corresponding toric variety XΠn$X_\Pi ^n$. In particular, we show that the generalised Todd genus of the theta divisor Θn$\Theta ^n$ coincides with h$h$‐polynomial of permutohedron Πn$\Pi ^n$ and thus is different from the same ...

Combination theorems for Wise's power alternative

open access: yesJournal of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract We show that Wise's power alternative is stable under certain group constructions, use this to prove the power alternative for new classes of groups and recover known results from a unified perspective. For groups acting on trees, we introduce a dynamical condition that allows us to deduce the power alternative for the group from the power ...

A Covering pursuit game

open access: yesMathematika, Volume 72, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract In the “Covering” pursuit game on a graph, a robber and a set of cops play alternately, with the cops each moving to an adjacent vertex (or not moving) and the robber moving to a vertex at distance at most 2 from his current vertex. The aim of the cops is to ensure that, after every one of their turns, there is a cop at the same vertex as the ...

The modular automorphisms of quotient modular curves

open access: yesMathematika, Volume 72, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract We obtain the modular automorphism group of any quotient modular curve of level N$N$, with 4,9∤N$4,9\nmid N$. In particular, we obtain some unexpected automorphisms of order 3 that appear for the quotient modular curves when the Atkin–Lehner involution w25$w_{25}$ belongs to the quotient modular group. We also prove that such automorphisms are
